Bug ID: 95524
Summary: Lots of little issues probably related to xlsx
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.2.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Chart
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: m.schipperh...@gmail.com
I use calc a lot on Mac OSX. I use java 8.
LibreOffice Calc is very good. But in the chart area I find it lacking.
At face value, the functionality is good. But when you use it to get things
done, you find many little things that are problematic.
Problems:
* Saving to and Loading from xlsx, screws up charts
I often have to fend off colleagues that try to make us go to Microsoft Office.
My contention that Libreoffice is a good alternative depends on solid document
format parity with Microsoft Office because this is still the default used by
many if not most people, especially professional business partners such as
lawyers, accountants etc.
* Loading and saving to/from xlsx makes categories disappear. It's also not
clear how to get them back.
* Loading and saving to/from xlsx makes chart legends get reformatted in
strange ways
* Navigating between sheets to retrieve a data range for a chart is agonizingly
slow. It takes seconds between clicking a data range buttons and then select
another sheet for the sheet to show up. It looks like a lot of computing cycles
are being wasted on something under the hood.
* It's not clear how to add a line to a column and line chart.
* Sub titles get duplicated between load and save cycles
* It's hard to edit the chart type and data range after creating a chart. One
click leads to the chart going to design mode and double clicking leads to the
data edit mode. However, I often find myself double clicking various times to
get to the data edit mode. This should be just one single pull down menu
* After you edit a chart, often you see a cached outdated version of the chart.
When you then click to edit again, you see the up to date version. It's not
clear how to force update the chart and it should never show a cached version
in the first place
